Dragon Ball TV Specials | REVIEW

Ойын-сауық

Dragon Ball has some great TV Specials and today I am going to watch The History of Trunks and Dragon Ball GT: A Hero's Legacy.
Dragon Ball Heroes has been calling my name lately and I've been ignoring it for as long as I can. In this review of the specials I look at the story and the inconsistencies with each one.
Will I like a Dragon Ball GT Story? STAY TUNED!

    It has good aspects and themes but overall has too many parts of wasted potential and annoying parts which honestly hurts it more than super because it’s an end point. It might’ve been the timing that gave it a retroactively bad rep but also possible burn out.

    @MultiTarded This youtube video isn't film though, it's digital. No film reels were involved here. Film and movie are synonyms, "movie" literally meaning moving pictures and "film" referring to the rolls of film on reels from which those moving pictures are projected. Playing in theaters doesn't have anything to do with the classification, there are made-for-t.v. movies after all.

    @MultiTarded Wartime propaganda commercials wouldn't be film either since they're commercials, just like how an advertisement for a The Lord of the Rings wouldn't be called a movie. "Movie" is just a slang term for motion picture and "Film" is just a slang term for the same thing but referencing the material used to store the pictures. Oh and if it's not daytime then the phrase would be "good evening".

It's always been my favorite, is arguably one of the most memorable aspects about GT ( or at least as much as the other Saga's). I get it has its flaws, everything does, but from an objective point of view, it serves it's purpose in the story pretty darn well.

    "how does Trunks survive this?" Easy. Just look at the character's of the Androids. They were always going on about how bored they are, and Trunks was amusing and weak enough to be left alive for a bit longer, especially with Gohan's death. They probably should have made that a bit more obvious though.

They talked about killing him SEVERAL TIMES in the middle of the fight, and then 18 proceeded to blast him point blank after beating him within an inch of his life. If they really wanted to leave him alive, they would've just left him there lying unconscious instead of going out of their way to deliver a killing blow (with tons of dramatic emphasis no less).

    I always loved the Goku Jr special. It was such a good story. I literally felt sad and depressed since it was literally the end of Dragon Ball. This shit had me all emotional lol. Old anime can really hit you in the gut man. More than these new anime. EDIT: Let me clarify some things a bit because I think my original comment portray's the wrong message here. I never have and never will say that new anime sucks as I mostly watch new anime anyway. A ton of new anime can seriously punch you in the gut and pull at your heart strings when its done right and a lot of em do indeed get it right like Clannad, A Lull in The Sea, Hero Academia, Anohana for example. New anime is awesome. I'm currently waiting on Demon Slayer movie to come out lol. I hope we get a season 2 and I can't wait for Attack On Titan S4! I don't watch much older anime tbh but I feel like when I do, they tend to get me right in the feels a bit more than new anime sometimes. I think its a combination of the visual style, lighting and that sad violin orchestra music I suppose. I dunno lol. Hope that cleared things up.

    It's funny how the specials can do more if not better than most of these movies yet these bland movie characters are remembered because.... They did a cool fight? Don't get me wrong i love cooler and Turles even though both don't really have a story or even much character espically turles until xenoverse 2 that is. This is kinda why i'd like another special that isn't hinged on the fact that it has to be for the kids or has to be so happy go lucky. Even if that isn't very possible.

    Back when I was a kid, I used to own A Hero's Legacy and I simply adored it. I didnt know much of the lore of dragonball, but I knew how tough it is for Goku Jr to manage literally being Goku's ancestor. The scene with grandma Pan literally mirrored Uncle Ben's phrase to Peter Parker. It was cathartic since I just got into spiderman too lol. (Also, Mamba is best girl.)

    I cried during this video. My grandma passed away a few years ago so seeing Goku Jr. struggling just like me was too much. Great video.

    I'm so happy you talked about the GT special. So many people overlooked it.

    I was gonna complain about you being a day late at uploading this video but honestly after the second story combined with your narration I changed my mind It was worth the wait

    @@TotallyNotMark it was almost Friday morning in India and for me. Looking forward to next week's video and a request from my end is that will you consider doing a video on Dr. Stone some time. It's a pretty nice story and setting and the first of its kind I've seen. You may like it

    I have also never seen the GT special (tbh i really love GT, eben with its flaws) but with your video you just made me cry. The story, even if its just a small breakdown of it is heartwarming and i always get chills when i hear the GT theme. And the last few minutes of the video, with the conclusion and everything just showed me why I and many others love Dragon Ball. Thank you!
